Drake Would Views be a classic if IYRTITL wasn't a separate project?

    I say yes. After the 1st listen if Views, this thought immediately popped in my head. I feel like if songs from Views and IYRTITL were merged together to make a cohesive project, there would be no underwhelming aura, no criticism, and Drake mightve had his first classic under his belt. Instead we have What A Time To Be Trash in between a solid album/mixtape and a mediocre album that was inspired by Drakes all too familiar simp stories and Rihannas box.

    This would be a classic IMO

    Not really.

    Drake is better at making mixtapes than albums.

    It would be my favorite Drake album and be closer to the Views I wanted. A lot more summer songs for the summer season if If You're reading this was on it, but alas it was not. Could have been Magnum Opus potential in my eyes

    Idk about that tracklist but it would be a contender for his best album.

    I like that concept but I probably would replace 6 God with 0-100

    There's a way to make it into a classic (or at least close to it) but you didn't do it

    Imagine taking all his songs released after nothing was the same and making an album. Easily would've been his best album.

    IYRTITL is a better project than Views for me. Crazy how he can spend years on an album and a couple months on a mixtape and the mixtape actually be preferred by a lot of people.

    Yes, Q.M's absence is notable.

    Also, I wouldn't say he worked on Views for years though it's been "in the making" for that long. He's even stated the majority was recorded post Meek Mill beef.

    There's nothing classic about Drake, post-2012. Let's just get that one ting straight.
